How Does the Spiritual Weapon Work?

In the world of fantasy role-playing games, magic spells play a crucial role in battles between heroes and villains. Among the many spell types, Spiritual Weapon stands out for its unique features and potential for powerful combat performance. As a cleric, you are proficient in this spell and should know how to use it effectively. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how the Spiritual Weapon works and what you should consider when casting it.

Casting Spiritual Weapon

To cast Spiritual Weapon, you need to focus on using your Channel Divinity as a bonus action, a spell attack that deals additional force on the target. You create a spectral weapon within a specific range, a spell effect that resembles a magical, spiritual sword or staff.

When casting the spell, you can make a Melee Spell Attack using your spectral weapon. The rules only talk about creatures occupying spaces; Spiritual Weapons are a spell effect that doesn’t apply the rules for weapon attacks on terrain. Therefore, the spell remains an area that you must maneuver through or avoid obstacles by casting your spiritual weapon beyond reach.

Using Spiritual Weapon as a Melee Spell Attack

Range and Target: You can target the Spectral Weapon up to a specific distance (60 feet), indicated on your character sheet or spell listing.

• Make a bonus action as the spell action:
  • As a bonus action on the same turn, you must have already used your action this round, to make another Melee Spell Attack.
  • Choose another target within the specified range and a zone around you, either side by side, above the spell or from above, either straight, up or down side side or 2/2 zones (at least that will have you more of chance that they see and act after).

Movement Control with Spiritual Weapon

The rule emphasizes that Spiritual Weapons don’t "take up" the space of targets it affects, unlike other terrain conditions or spell effects which control spaces and have limits; therefore, these magical manifestations take place. If multiple users try to target a specific item/position and are inside/under that same location it’ll still hit you on either side; but other will pass on. Some scenarios to test with Spiritual
